After the summer they spent together, Allie had to return home with her family, in Raleigh. They promised each other that the summer was over but their love and that they would write letters. Yet, knowing this, Noah wrote to Allie often, but his letters went unanswered. For both Allie and Noah, the years of not seeing each other had haunted each of them. Unexpectedly, one day fourteen years later, Allie came across an article in the paper about Noah rebuilding an old plantation house that he loved since he was a child.
However, during the heat of the game as the score was leveling out Danny threateningly warned Rueven, “I told my team were going to kill you apikorsim this afternoon” (Potok 18). Apikorsim directly translates to “Jewish Goyim”; moreover it’s a derogatory word for a religious Jew to call a non-religious Jew. It usually connotes someone who is a Zionist as well (Biblical Vocabulary). After Danny insults Reuven, he proceeds to hurl a baseball at Reuven’s face, which sends Rueven to the hospital for a week. The injured teen has to receive eye surgery and he almost loses sight in his eye, due to the atrocious affliction.

For example, my family Thanksgiving is a pretty big deal, which is probably likely for most American families. We plan about a month in advance in order to have our extended family there. Emails and phone calls are made to determine who will be making what, and how much we will need, as well as setting a place to have our enormous feast. Food assignments are made. Each person in my family is “encouraged” aka required to make a contribution.
There is more than just the fence dividing them. They have different backgrounds, different beliefs. Their friendship is one that defied the odds, and lasted despite major differences. For Bruno, a lonely boy recently moved from Berlin, who couldn’t find a friend to play with at “Out-with” and Shmuel, a Jew kid who had to live the terrify life at concentration camp, the friendship between them is the only happiness that had been able to lift their spirit up. That happiness is one thing that ties them together and helps their friendship defy odds.
The book I read was The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian which is the biography of Josh Swensen who lives in Boston. The book took place in the early spring of 2001 and ended in the fall of the same year. The main character’s name is Josh Swensen; he is also the narrator of the book. He lives with his step father since his mother died and has always enjoyed academics over athletics. In doing so he has become a bit of a loner and a bit shy.
A month after he was born, his family moved to Gaines, New York. George spent the first ten years of his life in New York. His father, Solomon Greasley Merrick was a pastor, his mother on the other hand; Althea Fink Merrick was a respected artist and also a community leader. Four years before the Merrick family moved to Florida, they used to live in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Solomon was the minister of the Pilgrim Church so the family was able to live in a nice home on the main street.
Topic#2: Steinbeck foreseeing America’s future In John Steinbeck’s “Travel with Charley, In Search of America”, Steinbeck encounters a variety of people and cities. Some of them inspire Steinbeck a lot which allows him to think deeply about both economic and citizens’ living situation in the United State. For instance, after having an amiable conversation with Joe’s family, a family which starts to live in the mobile house instead of apartment for almost three years, Steinbeck understands that even though “roots” seem important to many of us because it symbolizes the history of the family growth, but for some people, it means nothing to them because what they are looking for is a better career, a career that can support or even change the living standard of their family. Although some of the experiences are educated, inspired and sophisticated to Steinbeck, he also addresses America’s shortcomings and its difficulties. In the rest of the essay, I am going to examine the problems and explain how they are significant to the United States and how they affect the future of America.
I was born in the beautiful country of ... Few years into the civil war our family decided to immigrate. It wasn’t an easy process – it took almost two years for our family to reunite on American soil, but not too long after that our dad had to leave. My brother and I grew up under the care of our mother only. Immigrating to a new country was not easy - we had to learn a new language, adopt a new culture and make new friends. Despite the difficulties, we all tried to make the best of it.
Sometimes I think that the dream still isn’t dead in me, especially since this past Thanksgiving. This year, my family (my mother, my sister and I) decided to be a host family to two Great Lakes Naval Base Boot Camp members for the holiday. On Thanksgiving morning, my mother and I went to pick up our two ‘recruits’. I was so stuck in a cloud, dreaming of spending my holiday with tow muscle-bound hotties, that it never occurred to me what happened next. Two young ladies approached us and introduced themselves as Midshipman MacIntosh and Shipman McDonough.
